the solution (but one that likely will never pass) is a school bus system.

No, it was always intended to eventually be a K-8. Residents had to fight for it to open the K-5 portion in the early days of OH. Either the builders pulled a fast one on you, or you didn't do your due diligence. Most people consider it a good thing to have a continuous K-8 in the neighborhood.

Washington State, west of the Cascades. Been longing for cool, misty green landscapes.  But not a SoCal native, so never really got used the arid, near desert like climate here. Don't mind the rain, find it refreshing.

How did you know that she was 1. Chinese and 2. From the mainland? Did you talk to her and ask, or did you assume based on her appearance?

I?m curious as to why you are categorically steering clear of all Catholic schools?

anyway, regardless if it?s over-hype or not, as long as people buy into the idea of Irvine schools, it?s protective of your property value if you buy here, even if you decide to send your kid to private school.

this is an issue that is not unique to Irvine, but to public education in California and the nation as a whole?case in point, the Ca proposed math curriculum to eliminate all math tracking until 11th grade, similar proposed changes to virginia math curriculum, proposals in Palo Alto to limit...

There?s a fire in Riverside county and Santa Ana winds blowing it over to Orange county

Yeah, but even after taxes that is 150k for doing nothing other than holding a spot. More than some people earn in a year working full time. SMH

As an added bonus, you can enjoy the fumes wafting down from the asphalt plant just a short distance up Jeffrey?priceless!

You can lead a horse to water but you can?t make it drink. At this point I don?t think more education is  going to make much difference. Most people who are receptive to being educated have had ample opportunity to get the shot. Oh well, Darwinism in action?

I don?t disagree with you that there is a  need for denser housing,  but to allow plopping down up to 4 units in the place of 1 unit, randomly, in single family home neighborhoods the way SB9 allows it is bad planning and antithetical to the master planning principal Irvine is designed around...

nope, it's 24/7 now at the upper gate, both are manned during the day,  and the visitor gate code lane is deactivated at night at the other one, so all visitors must go through the manned one at night.

Groves did just recently go to 24/7 manned gate. Reserves opened later than Groves and still has more to build so I'm assuming Reserves will be manned later than the Groves.  The residents have to press for it if they want it sooner. The threat of a lawsuit can do wonders.

I don't live in OH reserves, and I also think Ravello is overpriced but: OH reserves-->gated + IUSD (Northwood high) + views in some tracts. Portola has IUSD and views in some areas, but no gate. portola is similar fire hazard zone OH Groves has gated + views (some tracts) but TUSD, not IUSD...

Trevi has a better location, walking distance to the park, the school, the shopping center. Vistas are WAY far back in Orchard Hills. Once you go through Settler?s gate, you still feel like you are driving really far into the foothills to reach the Vistas. I guess the pro about the Vistas is the...

You're looking for a unicorn. I kept on looking, but finally gave up and just started doing the yard work myself.

Everything is so square. I don't like how the village is laid out. Especially the entry lanes into the village.  It feels like the military some how. Same feeling with Stone gate and Cypress Village.  Prefer the older village layouts like Woodbridge, Turtle Rock, Northwood Pointe, more...
